Just Friends Alpha 0.25 Release.

Changelog:

• Fixed Internal calls for specific routes on day 5.
• Text revision number code changed due to the changes.
• Given the revisions made on the route names some save games can not work anymore, see more below:
  • The skip should work fine through Days 1 to 4 and most of Day 5.
  • Your save will work fine as long as you're between days 1 to 4 and the main parts of day 5. If you saved during an answer route, your save five will be broken, and trying to load it will crash the game.
  • More info inside the changelogs in the game.
• The key calls for new animations are coded on the game editor but it's not completed ingame (the animations won't work no matter how much I call them, I need to figure out how to make the new animations and make them work ingame later). This change won't affect your gameplay or the current shake/enter/exit animations.
• Added the following routes to the game:
  • Wagner 2nd act part 1.
    • 4 routes for 2nd act set 1, Answers A, B, F, and S.
      • Three conditional routes were added for answers A and S.

-Conditional routes are routes that need points to be accessed, in this case, more or equal to 23 to access the two new A-type routes and 44 points to access the S route. You guys cannot see those points but you earn them by answering the correct options through the game. Checking those routes will give you enhanced dialog and a better relationship with the character's route you're into. Remember, Just Friend is designed in a way that you can only have the perfect ending if you only follow one route per gameplay. More info on the Changelog ingame.

• Changed some issues with the credits at the end of the game.
  • Five seconds were added for the credits to wait on the 'Just Friends' title. This won't affect the total time of the credits.
  • A small text was added on top of the screen showing you temporarily what button to hold to skip the credits.
  • Fixed a small issue when watching the credits on full screen.

All texts were revised and corrected using Grammarly for extra checks on typos, but there may be some lingering issues you guys always find out and I'm more than happy to receive those issues via the Suggest Correction box in the game and catalog the number of accepted changes to add on the credits as the Revision team, so please if you find something that's not well written, don't be afraid to give me your change!

I also double-checked all route links, but if for some reason you access Day 5 and cannot access a route, please tell me immediately here in the comments or via the bug reporting email:  bugreport.justfriendsvn@gmail.com, and I'll fix it right away. As far as I could tell all routes are linked correctly even after the change in the names of the routes.  Remember, when the Map is shown and you chose your destination you should see the next sentence, if the game freezes or throw you into the credits, that's a bug and I need to check it again. It's working fine for me here, however; I've been playtesting all the game for two days straight before sending it to you guys, and yes I did overwork myself a little to be able to give you guys the game in time.

I'll be taking from the 24 through day 30 off since I want some time to rest now, so if any bugs or issues are found by you guys and sent to me after those days those issues will be corrected at the start of the next month and I'll release an alpha right away.  I need some time to cool off or I'll get sick and no one wants a sick tiger working on a romantic visual novel with such lovely guys right?

As always thank you guys for your support this month too!

Tomorrow I'll be adding the next pool, so if you're a tier 3 patron please don't forget to come here and vote for what you want me to do the next month to release on the next alpha. I'll do my best to deliver as much content as possible every month based on the results of the pool, which will end exactly a week after it's posted, that's how usually it works but this time the pool will end on day 30 instead of exactly a week after it's posted since I'm taking those days off like I said.

I hope you all enjoy the new part of Act 2 for Wagner's character, soon if things continue like that you guys will see a change of scenery because on Day 5 onward the characters will start to hop between areas while their days go by, every day becoming a little longer than the day before.

So, you all have a nice day and be safe, even with Covid Shots over more developed countries, we still have new variants of the virus and your body will be just more prepared for the virus and not immune, so don't go walking the streets without mask if you're sick so you won't pass the virus to other people that may not be vaccinated or resistant to it ok? Love yourself and respect others, always!

Have a nice week guys!
